On 15 August 2026, Young Stars welcomed United Brothers to Rheenendal for a league home match kicking off at 1:30pm. The hosts delivered a commanding performance, running out 7-0 winners in a one-sided affair that saw them dominate from start to finish.

Young Stars lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, deploying Jerome Boukers in goal behind a back four of Seuna at right back, Zop and Arzi as central defenders, and Janeville Williams on the left. The midfield double pivot featured Yanga and Junior Juks tasked with controlling the centre of the park and breaking up opposition play. Ahead of them, the attacking trio consisted of Rushine Davids on the right wing, Lizzy in the central attacking midfield role, and Richard on the left flank. Leading the line was Kiembie as the lone striker, expected to spearhead the attack and convert chances created by the attacking midfielders.

On the bench, Young Stars had Ivandre Haaland, Chip Calwick, Xavior Stukkies, and Kyle available as substitutes.

In the 36th minute, Seuna received a yellow card for a bad tackle, a rare moment of discipline concern for the hosts. However, he made amends just six minutes later by scoring a stunning goal from outside the area, firing a low shot that left the goalkeeper with no chance.

In the 66th minute, Xavior Stukkies came on for Lizzy, allowing the latter to rest after her impressive contribution. Six minutes later, Kyle replaced Seuna, completing the trio of second-half substitutions.

Ivandre Haaland continued to shine, scoring again in the 73rd minute after a self-assist, showcasing his composure and finishing ability.

Chip Calwick capped off the scoring spree with a goal in the 86th minute, sealing a comprehensive 7-0 victory for Young Stars.

From the opening whistle to the final moments, Young Stars dominated every aspect of the game, with their attacking players particularly impressive.
